You just did a BOZO thing!!!
While tracking a URL seen in spam, SophosLabs came across an executable that looked like a standard piece of malware, your common-or-garden downloader. Except the payload of this executable was just a regular GIF image and, once downloaded, the executable didn’t attempt to do anything with it. Instead it popped up the following message:
Whatever malware may or may not have originally been at this address, this executable is there now.
